Recently, 144 patches were merged into the GCC 15 codebase to enhance the Rust "gccrs" front-end, following an earlier batch of 145 patches. These updates include improvements to the Polonius borrow checker, fixes for various issues, and a reduction of the minimum Rust version to 1.49. This change aims to enable GCC to compile its own Rust component in the future. Arthur Cohen from Embecosm highlighted that this patchset addresses several required attributes in Rust's core crate, enhances inline assembly handling, and implements multiple type-system fixes. The ongoing development is focused on improving support for various distributions and ensuring that the Rust component of GCC becomes more mature. The stable release of GCC 15.1 is anticipated in the coming weeks, with continued efforts to refine the compiler's capabilities.
